Thanks to the Canadian Red Cross I had clothes (I was wearing a nightgown only), and they arranged with a local hotel so I could be housed and fed for three days, enough time to turn around. They were the only local non-gov-run organization who understood what happens to victims of a disaster; other local charities were either uninterested or handed out generic, unconcerned "You're still alive and you haven't lost everything!" comfort speeches that only frustated me further.

I also want to thank the CLSC Le Partage des eaux, my local Community Health Center, who gave me a shitton of resources to help me get back up on my feet, is scheduling a meeting with a mental health specialist and has at least two wonderful social workers available for me to fall back on when I get an emotional crisis.

The other people who helped me were my best friend (who lives in the states and has a rough situation of her own but still is putting up a care package together for me) and complete strangers. This is why I'm calling on internet strangers' kindness now.

I had, by a very rough estimate, anywhere between $8000 and $10,000 in physical videogame equipment, from consoles to peripherals to games, and none of it was recoverable. I'm transcribing my list of everything I bought to my games tally page, where people will be able to see which games I'm seeking out so they can contact me if they want to sell/gift them to me.

Tip Of The Day

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King:
When you reach a shape changing dungeon that resets exploration values to 0%, temporarily dismantle your taverns, make sure you send five separate adventurers of a level high enough to handle the monsters in it, and remember that exploration-wise, one adventurer and one party of 4 raise the exploration bar the same quantity, causing changing dungeons to be harder to clear once adventurers form parties via the taverns.
